You obviously haven't dealt with government enough then. I've done a ton of business with multiple government agencies over the last 30 years or so. My father for about 70 years and on three continents. Thinking that government agencies do not behave badly and above the law is, I am sorry to say, a really naive position that can only come from a lack of experience (and, in that case, understandable). Government agencies are people, not machines, and we are flawed in a million different ways.
If you don't think government agencies don't behave unethically or badly, just read this:

And there are a million more like that if you dig far enough.
- kbenson 11y agoPeople at any company have the ability to ignore the law just the same. But the law is the recourse. If you think a government agency is acting outside their purview, sue.
